Girls Trip to Barbados Match 2024 - From the point of pick up, my friends and I received and experienced an excellent service from Yvette and Terry. We also grouped with a friendly US couple from Michigan Our tours included breathtaking and amazing views from Rhianna Drive, Bathsheba, a visit to the Mount Gay rum plantation with a guided tour, historical sites in Bridgetown to name but a few, all supported by a very knowledgeable commentary from Terry who was our fabulous tour guide. Lunch was delicious. Our favourite part was Bathsheba, with its spectacular views. The whole experience was worth every penny.

Great half day tour! - Our tour operator Yvette from Terrvette Tours was amazing! Wonderful to see the landscape changes from Atlantic versus the Caribbean side. Lots of photo ops & loved seeing the green monkeys! St. Nicholas Abbey was interesting and so was the parish churches in each parish. Lunch was lovely. Perfect way to introduce yourself to this beautiful island.

Amazing brief, fun filled trip to Barbados - Yvette is a star. She ferried us around from the airport to the hotel and then a tour of Barbados. Harrisons cave was a highlight. She took us to the cruise ship and on our return collected us and took us on a tour before we went to the airport for our flight. She is organised, efficient and just an absolutely lovely person who I would thoroughly recommend 👌

First class service - We had excellent communication with Terry and Evette before we arrived from the uk Terry picked us up he tracked our flight and saw we were arriving nearly a hr early and was outside waiting for us fantastic service. Terry also took us on an island tour and we also went to st Nicholas abbey which was a great day out. Our transfer back to the airport was again spot on time. I would definitely recommend Terrvettetours as they are very professional and friendly. Thankyou both we will see you both soon. Sam and mark 🌴❤️

Wonderful day touring Barbados with Yvette of Terrvette Tours - Our tour of Barbados with Yvette was perfect! We visited several highlights across the island and Yvette is very knowledgeable of history and culture. Barbados is beautiful and it was wonderful to do a full 360 of the island. Rum tasting at St. Nicholas Abbey; beautiful Animal Flower Cave is breathtaking; lunch at a local restaurant was delicious! We stayed at an Airbnb so Yvette’s door to door pick up was an added bonus!

Once in a lifetime tour - We had an amazing tour with Yvette! She was super knowledgeable about her country and it’s history. We got to know Barbados fully past and present. She is so nice and informative, we really enjoyed all the places she drove us to and even got to see some off the beaten path places. Her van was very clean and lovely, with all the AC we needed with such a hot day we had! I would 1000% recommend her tours, plus they are a locally owned business which we really appreciated! If you ever want to see the best of Barbados, book with this company! Thank you again Yevette for a wonderful tour day!!
Appreciatively, Kat and Steve🩵

Wonderful Service and Experience - We recently used this service for a few tours and a private trip. Terry and Yvette were knowledgeable and more than accommodating to our needs. Sharing a wonderful Bajan experience with us as they carried us to share in the beauty, culture and foods of Barbados. I highly recommend Terrvette to anyone wishing for the best experience while In Barbados. They offer several tours and have many contacts to allow for authentic Bajan experience. Thank you Terry and Yvette for the service and for including us with family. We will see you in the near future on our next trip to Barbados.

Would Recommend! - Yvette was an amazing tour guide! She was so kind, funny, and knowledgeable about everything and gave much needed insight. Our group was small, which allowed for more personal interactions and stops at places we may not have been able to before. I felt I got a great look at the island as a whole and we made stops at some beautiful places. Lunch was provided which was an added plus. She answered all questions and gave suggestions for other things to do on the island that I eventually went to explore. 10/10 would recommend!
